Cheerfulness is a grand home virtue.
Great works are accomplished slowly.
To see the world is to judge the judges.
We seldom heartily praise those who

Never. refuse kindness that it comes
in your way to do.
Our condition never satisfies us; the
present is always the worst.
Wealth may bring luxuries, but luxur-
les do not always bring happiness.
What il commonly called friendship
even is only little more honor among

Grand temples are built of small stones
and great lives are made up OF small

Pride is equal in all men; it differs on

merit, it is very certain that he has none
himself.
The good we have received form man
should make us bear with the i'll he does
us.
In great cities we learn to look the
world in the face. We shake hands with
stern realities.
The great high road of human welfare
lies along the old highway of steadfast
well-doing.
1t is not enough to possess great quail
ties: we must also have the management
of them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The conferees
on the Notifications appropriation bill
held meeting this morning at which
fair progress was made in the settlement
of the points of difference. The meeting
was characterized by a spirit of concilia-
tion and mutual concession that leads to
the belief that an entire agreement will
soon be reached. One of the conferees
after the meeting remarked that he felt
satisfied the bill would be reported, not
later than tomorrow, which would fully
meet the demands of the country, and
prove eminently satisfactory in its terms.

tions will recommend the passage of the
senate "time" bills, for the established of
two gun foundries may be regarded as
doubtful. 1t is hardly probable that the
house naval committee will report favor
ably either the Cameron naval bill or the
Hale naval bin, both of which have pass
ed the senate. 1t less probable that the
bill to be reported by the house military
committee will be considered at all this
session. In short the probable outcome
of all the bills and discussions in and ont
of congress seems to be that the Thomas
bill may become law; that q fortifics-
non bill appropriating eight or ten mil.
hons Will pass; that the purchase of
Erickson's Destroyer" may be authoriz,
ed, and that provision to continue and
complete the vessels heretofore authorized
will be made. If the big gun foundry
bill pass at all it will be as amendments
to the naval appropriation bills.

No Doubt that Delaney will Accent.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. pa friend of Ar
thur K. Delaney has presented him with
choice supply of flies, with which to
catch the speckled beauties inhabiting
the streams of Alaska, when he goes TO
that country. Asked this forenoon wheth,
er he was ready to announce his decision
about the Alaskan appointment, Mr.. De
laney replied negatively, and said that
he would not be ready until after the SEN
ate had acted upon the nomination. Mr.
Delaney's friends state that there is no
doubt that he will accept the appoint
ment.

A New Room AT the White Hoase.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Another i'm
provement has been made at the white
house, by which President and Mrs. Cleye
land viii have more privacy than hitherto
in that portion of the mansion allotted
to their use. Colonel Wilson has com
pleted partition in the corridor on the
second floor, which cuts off a large room
between the library and the blue cham
Der, formerly used by Mrs. Sartoris, nee
Nellie Grant. Under the old management,
a long corridor, similar to the one facing
the public parlors On the first floor, ex-
tended the whole length of the white
house, from the glass doors
which lead into the cabinet room,
ard it frequently happened that
visitors to the library went astray after
leaving the president. This will be obvi-
ated in the future by the new partition,
which now insures absolute privacy TO
Mrs. Cleveland, and besidet give her a
cosy sitting room at the head of the pri-
vate stairway. Handsome pictures line
the walls, tall growing plants are taste
fully disposed in every available space,
while luxurious divans, iniaid tables and
handsome furniture of every description
are disposed in a most tasteful manner
about the spartment. This fills long
needed want at the white house, and here
after there will be no intrusion on the
president or his family.

wand fhe Assar IaWs Amended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The acting sec
tary of the treasury to-day sent to the
speaker of the house a communication
from the director of the mint, the comp
troiIer of the ccrrency and the assay
commission urging amendments to the
laws governing the annual assay of
coirs SO as to provide for holding future
meetings Of the commission at Washing
ron, the selection at random by the Of
fcer Of the mint bureau of coins TO be
tested, and the payment Of per diem
compensation to members of the COM
mission. From the report Of the direc-
tor of the mint, containing statistics of
the production OF precious metals in the
United States, for the calendar year 1886.
it is shown that the production of gold
during that year exceeded any year since
1880, and almost equaled the production
Of that year. This amounted, in 1886, TO
&35, ,0OO, 600.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has vetoed the
bill appropriaring 10000 for the distri-
button of seeds ia the countiee of Texas
that suffered from drought.
FIVE thousand ladies stood in line Sat
ursay at the presidents house to shake
hands with Mrs. Cleveland, it being her
closing reception for the season.
The sedretary of the interior, in rec
ommending the establishment of an ad-
ditional pension agency, in view of the
passage of the Mexican bill, points to
New Orleans as the most suitable loca-
tion.
PREsTDENT CLEVELAND states that many
members of the present congress have
been recommended to him for places on
the interstate commerce commission, and
there is none of them whom he would SO
glodly nominate as CoIonel Morrison.
SEN. MORRILL,, from the committee on
finance, reported favorably bill to
amend sections 5,191 and 8, 1872 of the Re
vissd Statutes, by adding Galveston, St
Paul, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Denver
Kansas City, Omaha, and st. Joseph tc
the list of lawful money reserve cities.
In answer to house resolution the sec
retary OF the interior has procured and
forwarded the opinion of the attorney
general to the effect that the fencing OF
lands in such a way as to prevent the
passage between, of settlers upon the
government sections, is, as the law nov
stands, clearly unlawful.

has been accepted, and the assignment
will be settled on that basis. One-,hird
of the indebtedness of the firm will be
paid IN cash. and the remainder by ap-
proved paper payable in three, six and
twelve months. The capital necessary to
make the settlement will be furnished
by the firm of Morgan Bros.
The business will be continued in active
operation under the firm name of Carlton
Foster i Co. Some of the smaller credi-
tors will be paid in cash. Morgan Bros.
will use $4,000 in making the settlement.
1t Is thought that with the present favor
able outlook for the sash, door and blind
industry, the firm will be able to dis
charge all of its liabilities in two years.
The compromise is considered very for
tunate for both creditors and debtors.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-There was a
novel and interesting incident at the
Metropolitan Methodist church last Sun
day. Sawyer, the millionaire senator
from Wisconsin has pew there, which
is two or three times as big as his family,
but not nearly as big as his good ma
tured heart. He usually mods to the
ushers after he gets in and tells them
how many people he can make room for.
Last Sunday, however he waddled down
tire aisle followed by one of the doorkeep-
ers of the senate, and ON arriving at his
pew, he turned about and ushered him in
to it with as much Difference and kindly
attention as though he had been tn 9
president of the United States instead of
an attendant at the door of the body of
which the senator was member. 1t is a
fashion to rant about miIlionaires in the
senate, but if there were few more
members of that body with the sort of
disposition that prompts to an act of
this sort, the country wonld be none the
less safe in their charge.

THE KNIGHTS AND TOBACCO WORKERS.
Decisive Action in the Fight Between Them

decisive Action In the Fight Between Them
New YORK, Feb. 22.-The tobacco work.
ers' and cigarette makers assemblies OF
the Knights of Labor of this city have
decided not to obey the order of the gen
eral assembly of knights of Labor. The
order was adopted in October of last
year, and provides that all persons en-
gagged in cigar trades, who are
Knights and members of the In
ternational Cigarmakers' union, shall
withdraw at once from the union. This
is an old fight between the union and the
knights of labor in regard to the use ot
the labels of the two organizations. The
union claims that the admission of the
progressive cigar makers to the knights
has injured their trade in this city, as il
allows the sale of foreign in opposition
to home made goods.
